CODE at Dutch Design Week
Technosferatu and V.I.B.E
— 26 October 2025
Dutch Design Week celebrates a quarter century of shaping the future. Under the theme ‘Past. Present. Possible.’, DDW reflects on its legacy, showcases today’s creative energy, and explores what design can become. A platform where ideas connect, possibilities open, and the future is designed together. This year we present two projects from CODE: Technosferatu and V.I.B.E
Technosferatu
On Longevity Culture and Algorithmic Infrastructures
Technosferatu is a protocol exploring how algorithmic systems turn the body into a site of labour, optimisation, and exploitation in pursuit of longevity. Reimagining the immortal vampire through techno-optimism and eternal youth, it unfolds as a video essay installation with audience engagement.
Visit Technosferatu at Next Nature Museum, Noord Brabantlaan 1A, Eindhoven
V.I.B.E
Viral Ideology Broadcast Experiment
V.I.B.E explores the rise of “vibe culture” as a dominant mode of sense-making in the post-truth era, through a speculative electoral campaign and interactive installation.
Visit V.I.B.E at De Fabriek, Baarsstraat 38, Eindhoven
This work was realized as part of CODE 2025, a project organized by IMPAKT (Utrecht, NL), Werktank (Leuven, BE), Privacy Salon / CPDP (Brussels, BE), NoSchool (Nevers, FR), and Kunsthal Mechelen (Mechelen, BE).
